Prisoner of Love - Utada Hikaru Lyrics and Translation

UTADA HIKARU - Prisoner of Love

Romanji Lyrics
I'm a prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
I'm just a prisoner of love
A prisoner of love

Heiki na kao de uso wo tsuite
Waratte iyake ga sashite
Raku bakari shiyou to shite ita

Naimono nedari buruusu
Mina yasuragi wo motomete iru
Michitariteru no ni ubaiau
Ai no kage wo otte iru

Taikutsu na mainichi ga kyuu ni kagayakidashita
Anata ga arawareta ano hi kara
Kodoku demo tsurakutemo heiki da to omoeta
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
I'm a prisoner of love

Yameru toki mo sukoyaka naru toki mo
Arashi no hi mo hare no hi mo tomo ni ayumou

I'm gonna tell you the truth
Hitoshirezu tsurai michi wo erabu
Watashi wo ouen shite kureru
Anata dake wo tomo to yobu

Tsuyogari ya yokubari ga muimi ni narimashita
Anata ni ai sareta ano hi kara
Jiyuu demo yoyuu demo hitori ja munashii wa
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Oh mou sukoshi da yo
Don't you give up
Oh misutenai zettai ni

Zankoku na genjitsu ga futari wo hikisakeba
Yori issou tsuyoku hikareau
Ikura demo ikura demo ganbareru ki ga shita
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Arifureta nichijou ga kyuu ni kagayakidashita
Kokoro wo ubawareta ano hi kara
Kodoku demo tsurakutemo heiki da to omoeta
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

I'm a prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
I'm just a prisoner of love
I'm a prisoner of love

Stay with me, stay with me
My baby, say you love me
Stay with me, stay with me
Hitori ni sasenai


English Translation
I'm a prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
I'm just a prisoner of love
A prisoner of love

I lied with a straight face
My laughter made me sick
I tried to take the easy way out

It's the asking-for-too-much blues
Everyone's longing for peace
Fighting even when they're satisfied
Chasing after love's shadow

The boring days suddenly began to shine
Since the day you appeared
I thought I'd be fine even when I was lonely or hurt
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
I'm a prisoner of love

In sickness and in health
Let's walk together through rain or shine

I'm gonna tell you the truth
I chose a secret, painful road
But you encourage me
You're the only one I can call a friend

Bravado and greed have become meaningless
Since the day you loved me
Freedom just means the emptiness of being alone
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Oh, just a little more
Don't you give up
Oh, don't ever abandon me

Even if the cruel reality tears us apart
We'll be drawn to each other that much more strongly
I knew I could keep trying no matter, no matter what
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

The ordinary days suddenly began to shine
Since the day you stole my heart
I thought I'd be fine even when I was lonely or hurt
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

I'm a prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
I'm just a prisoner of love
I'm a prisoner of love

Stay with me, stay with me
My baby, say you love me
Stay with me, stay with me
Don't leave me alone
